Dear Fedora developers, I'm the upstream developer of trash-cli. I saw in package announce[1] that you decided to change of restore-trash into trash-restore. I appreciate your work but in this case I'm not happy with one of the last change.
I'm preparing [4] a program called trash-restore to be included in trash-cli that would behave in a different way that restore-trash. So your decision could cause me problems.
I'd better liked if this type of change will be discussed with me before to be implemented in a so famous distribution.
In the time that was published it was using these command names:
- trash (for trashing a file)
- empty-trash (for empty the trashcan)
- list-trash (for listing the contents of the trashcan)
- restore-trash (for put back a trashed file)
I was happy about my command name choice as the packagers of Debian and Ubuntu were. So they packaged my application for those distributions.
Instead, during the first packaging for Fedora, some problems happen. The name 'trash' wasn't accepted by the package reviewer so after a long discussion (see [2], and [3]) and I end up to change the names into: trash-put, trash-empty, trash-list. But I left alone restore-trash for reserving trash-restore for future development as described in the wiki [4].
The name change was only temporary. Once you release a new version, I can rectify this with the update that I push (it's one line in the spec). I really wasn't aware that you weren't using it because you had it reserved for future use. I did file a ticket on the trac before implementing this change (which was closed with a WONTFIX). If you'd like, I could push an update to remove the name change, or I could do it when you release a new version. Please do let me know.
All the trash-* are supposed to ben non interactive, the new trash-restore will be but the old restore-trash is not.
Thank you
